Finance Deposit Ticket and Bank Account Changes In compliance with financial and accounting disclosure requirements, the Postal Service’s existing bank deposit ticket has been redesigned. Effective immediately, only the new deposit tickets will be shipped for deposit ticket reorders. Each Post Office™ should begin using the new deposit tickets upon receipt following its next deposit ticket reorder. Changes to the new slips include: The total for checks and money orders is combined. Checks and money orders no longer have to be listed as separate items. The ‘Verifier’ and ‘Witness’ certification lines have been standardized. Signature(s) and not just initials are now required. Post Offices will no longer write ‘NWA’ when a witness is not available and instead will leave this line blank. See Hand- book F-101, Field Accounting Procedures, part 9-1.2, Banking Procedures for PRUs, for witness requirements. The following graphics illustrate the old and the new deposit tickets. 66 POSTAL BULLETIN 22244 (10-23-08) INFORMATION DESK

Old Deposit Ticket

New Deposit Ticket

Effective immediately, the maximum deposit ticket order will be reduced from 400 to 200. This change has already been implemented in eBuy. Beginning January 30, 2009, the maximum order quantity will be increased once again, and offices may choose quantities of either 200 or 400. To further support financial reporting requirements, only two-part deposit tickets will be used effective January 30, 2009. The two-part deposit tickets will be shipped in bound books with 50 tickets per book. Bank Account Changes The Postal Service™ has completed a nationwide solicitation for field banking services that is designed to increase the quality and reduce the cost of banking and armored courier services. A total of 45 districts will transition to new financial institutions and three (3) additional districts will transition to new accounts at their existing institutions. The target date for this transition is February 1, 2009. Detailed information on the transition timeline will be provided to the affected districts in the near future. These 48 districts must begin using deposit tickets, endorsement stamps, and address stamps with their new account information on the transition date. Banking supplies for the new accounts will be shipped to the applicable Post Offices by their district finance office in January. INFORMATION DESK POSTAL BULLETIN 22244 (10-23-08) 67
